New York: Hiroshi Sunairi, my Platanus sprouted

1/28/2010 A couple of weeks ago, there had been some sprouts, but the stems were too weak looking and couldn't get the seed-shell off and dried up. This week, this one came out and seem very healthy without shell. In the soil, there are other sprout arches ready to come out. This Platanus (Plane tree) sprout is kind of hairy and cute!!

Tree Project on nakais スペイン、マドリード → ニューヨーク、マンハッタン通信(アート)

「お陰様で3X歳の誕生日を迎えました。 気持ちはまだ推定32歳です。 あと?年で大台を超えるけれどもどのように過ごしているだろう、といろいろイメージをふくらませながらアイデアを書き留めています。 心身共に健康にいるのが一番いいというのが最近のモットーで、食べるものに気をつけてよく歩くようにしています。 せっかくニューヨークにいるので、いろいろ写真でも撮ってレポート出来るようになりたいと思っています。 今回はニューヨーク大学の先生でもある 砂入博史 さんというアーティストの方のプロジェクトで、広島に投下された原爆で被爆した柿の木の種やその他の樹木の種をもらい、自宅に植えています。これはセンダンという木が種から生えてきたところです。 柿の種は残念ながらまだ発芽しておりません。もし生えてきた場合は数十年後に植えられる土地があるのか、どこに植えるのかを考えるだけでも楽しいです。」 −−−中井里美 Click here to check out Satomi's blog http://yaplog.jp/nakais/archive/87

I immediately moved the pot to the nursery in the front of my house where it will get plenty of sun, company from other plants, and a chance to grow big and strong In The Bronx. Peace. My family moved to NYC 60 years ago and soon there after moved into a home in the Bronx. My grandmother planted 2 magnolia trees next to each other where they grew and lived happily until recently. My neighbor had a problem with his driveway and cut down one of the trees. It is my belief and understanding that this caused the other magnolia tree to die as their roots were intertwined in a symbiotic relationship providing life and support. It was the day be...
